Hi there again, thank you so much for your prompt reply. If the boot opening dimensions are big enough, I will surely buy the Santa Fe. The height of the boot opening is the deal breaker for me because I want to load in my mini motorcycle. If you could, I would be grateful too if you could please measure the depth of the boot with all seats folded down except for the front passenger and driver seats. I intend to buy the 5 seater Santa Fe as I don’t really need a 7 seater. Please keep up the good work in you video posting. Well done with the iKamper video. I am really hoping Hyundai will also bring the iKamper into Europe as an accessory option. Looking forward to your review of the Santa Fe Hybrid because this would be the one I will be going for if my mini motorcycle fits in !! Many thanks again.

Hi there, a happy new year to you and your Mrs. Please believe me, I have viewed all your videos on Santa Fe (and Pallisade), but for the life of me, I can’t find the measurements of the trunk opening of the Santa Fe. I see you were holding a measurement tape in your hands but you never actually took any measurement of the opening into the boot. What I mean is the height and width of the opening after the trunk is opened up. I need to be able to load a mini motorcycle into the boot space, and so, I need to know the height of the opening (not the height of the trunk from the ground!). Hope you appreciate what I am asking, because the Santa Fe is still not available in Europe. Please help if you could. Many many thanks.

I have not seen any comments regarding the storage spaces in the doors panel. I have a Tucson HEV from 2021 and I was hoping that with this facelift it would make bigger storage spaces. It seems to me that the front doors are slightly modified compared to the previous model, but they are still quite small. The rear doors have not changed anything! I find it embarrassing that they didn't think about that. If you sit in the back and next to a small bottle of water you would also like to store other objects (a phone for example) you have no other option just only to put it in the basket of the backrest of the front seat. Honestly, there was room for better in this aspect!

Regarding the Hidden Assistant Door Handle, I am a little concerned about it not shaking and making rattle noise over time. Is there a drain for incoming rain or washing water and dirt? 🤔

@CarSceneKorea

5 ай бұрын

Yep, covered it a few times already on my previous vids - not blaming you, just stating it. The answer: Doesn't rattle at all, it is super tight when locked. It doesn't have to be the key that came with the car, anything that you can stick inside and rotate, it will lock/unlock. It's completely safe bc you can only access it when the second row door is open. Yep, there is drain, which drips out of the door panel. Dirt getting in there, you'd need some pressured water spray.

I'm from Taiwan. The Tucson L from Hyundai is a recently very well-selling car in the modern automotive market. Despite being an older model (2022), its popularity is quite remarkable for Hyundai cars in Taiwan, especially for the hybrid version. At its peak demand, buyers have to wait for over half a year after payment to receive their cars. However, the biggest complaint and concern, as mentioned in the video, is the uncomfortable placement of the turn signals at the rear. Many people find it too low, making it difficult for vehicles behind to see the turn signals when in close proximity. In response to this, there are some car modification shops in Taiwan that offer solutions. For the Tucson L, they provide a modification that connects the brake lights with the turn signals. When the turn signals flash, one of the brake lights will also flash simultaneously to enhance the warning effect. It's hard to imagine that Hyundai did not make improvements to address this issue. On the contrary, in the new version, it has been changed to a lower position...

What is the difference in step-in height between the two? I know the Tucson is essentially identical to my Santa Cruz, which my wife has no problem getting in and out of. If the Santa Fe is much taller to step into, that could be an issue. I've been on the wait list for a Tucson Hybrid for almost a year now ... but the more I see the Santa Fe, the more I'm thinking we should go that way instead. The extra space would be really nice on vacations.

@CarSceneKorea

5 ай бұрын

It certainly is taller, but I do not have the car to measure and give you the precise number now, sry. It sure does feel like you are stepping inside a next-class vehicle being the size, the vibe you get from the moment you open up the door, etc. If a few centimeter could be a problem for your wife, I wouldn't recommend risking it. Santa Fe is much closer to being a Palisade(with the current model before the all-new model) than a Tucson.

I was just sitting in the traffic with left blinker on. The car behind me was really close and I could see the light from my blinker reflecting from the face of the driver behind me... I have put much more powerful LED bulbs, maybe that also helps, but I don't think there is a real issue regarding the safety in traffic. On the other hand, when you take for example the new Santa Fe... I think it's rear lights position, being so low in general makes it quite ugly. This is a much bigger deal-braker for me.

@@grasho powerfull led bulb might solve the problem of visibility when driving on open road (still, how is it possible to have a non led bulb in 2024 in a car, let alone a face lift version?), but in close distance city traffic there are serious safety issues, no matter what the manufacturer says about that being OK with safety regulations. E.g. the rider of a motorcycle moving behind on the lane next to yours does not expect to see the turning light under your bumper when you start changing your lane. These fractions of a sec can make the difference. On TUCSON they could have placed the rear turning light on the main tail light strip. On SANTA FE though, it was inevitable to place them all low since the designer's priority was to make the tailgate as wide as possible. Nevertheless, this is also troublesome by safety standars out there.

@@CarSceneKorea the design is fine.Yet, IMHO, If you get people that know nothing about cars to chose which version is the facelift, I am sure they will select the old one. And I do think that the old one is better looking. But let us not forget that this is a transportation mean for you and your family. And not all people are ok with such silly choices when it comes to safety issues, just because the manufacturer didn't want to install 1 more meter of wire or add 2 more leds to the tail lights. This is a disgrace by 2024 car manufacturing standards.

These new changes are so “subtle” it’s not even notice… They slightly change the front view lights (only) One of the issues i found with 2023 model was the rear indicator lights were too low… On this new model they lower them even more!! This is not good!! The new tech added is a bonus but not enough for me to stay with Hyundai as they changed the only feature they caught my attention and that was their screen/dash integration unique to Hyundai!!! Why they did not keep this sleek and compact design amazes me… instead they change it for a very basic tacky and clumsy design… I hear tgis new model has onboard camara recording, which is the best upgrade but because of this horrible interior I’ll be trading for a different make next year..
